Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether TNX-102 SL, a tablet taken under the tongue at bedtime, can improve depression symptoms in adults with moderate to severe major depressive disorder. About 360 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo nightly for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in depression scores and monitor safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine) taken as a tablet under the tongue at bedtime
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new nightly treatment option for people with major depression, potentially easing symptoms with a different approach than standard antidepressants.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial, so results may not confirm effectiveness. The drug is a muscle relaxant repurposed for depression, and it may cause side effects like drowsiness or dizziness. Success is not guaranteed.
